As I am thinking of my presentation to marketing directors in Tokyo tomorrow I was trying to recall one of my favourite all-time online creative’s. I have just managed to find it hidden away on Recruit 1-Click. I remember sitting there wasting time playing with this a couple of years back – and I have to admit it’s still as catchy as ever. Sheer simplicity at is best, go have a look and I guarantee you too will be pleasantly amused.

After all what do we expect from a nation who redefined our late night TV viewing with “Za Gaman – The Endurance” (?????) and those crazy antics?! Apparently it made the Guinness Book of World Records for “Most Extreme Game Show”.

And if you want to see what Recruit are up to now, well seems as they run an awards for online creativity in the region – check out this year’s curious animation sequence, then go play the interactive Othello game. Just genius – and another great online time waster!

Just as long as I don’t need to be buried up to my neck in locust’s and then have reptiles licking my face – I mean who would have thought reality TV in UK today would become a rip-off of what we once thought were Japanese insanities… yep you guessed it, “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”

Now THAT’s insane!

Anyway, I’m off to eat some raw fish…
